Commonly asked questions on child law.
Child law is a highly complicated area of law that can determine the future relationship between you and your child. Our child law solicitors have answered some of the most commonly asked questions surrounding child law to help you understand what it does.
1. What is child law?
Child law is the area of law that involves children in legal matters. The most common legal cases involving children are divorce child custody arrangements, which outline what happens to your children following on from divorce.
However, child law is a broad term and can even include things like adoption and surrogacy.
2. What comes under child law?
Some of the most common matters that fall under child law include:
- Child arrangement orders
- Child custody
- Adoption
- Child maintenance orders
- Surrogacy
- Parental responsibility orders
- Shared parenting agreements
3. How much do child law cases cost?
Child law is a broad term, meaning we would need to know more details of your case before we can advise on a fee quote.
Our initial consultations are untimed so you’ll have as long as you need with your child law solicitor to run through all the details of your matter. During the consultation, our child law solicitor will give an overview of your standpoint from a legal perspective, and provide you with a more precise cost and time estimate for your case.
4. Why use a child law solicitor?
Child law can be seen as one of the most important areas of law, as a child law case will essentially decide on the future relationship you will have with your child.
As a result, when there’s so much at stake, it’s important that you have a specialist child law solicitor working on your case.
Some of the key responsibilities of a child law solicitor are:
- Reaching a cost-effective and efficient resolution
- Effectively and empathetically managing emotionally unpredictable situations
- Examining and evaluating any evidence that may prove beneficial to your case
- Preparing any child arrangement or other relevant orders
- Ensuring you get the best possible outcome for your case
5. Do you offer legal aid for child law matters?
We are currently unable to offer legal aid in any capacity as we lack the necessary legal aid certificate. We also don’t offer pro bono child law work at present.
